Pakistan will release 315 Indian fishermen, including 23 juvenile prisoners lodged in Karachi jails on Wednesday.

According to official jail sources, after the release of the prisoners, the number of Indian prisoners in Malir jail would be 123, reports the Daily Times.

The juvenile prisoners are lodged in Youthful Offenders' School adjacent to Karachi Central Jail while others are kept in District Jail Malir.
